Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | HotStuff: BFT Consensus in the Lens of Blockchain |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A three-phase BFT protocol whose communication is linear in the number of replicas, because a leader collects a threshold signature instead of everyone talking to everyone. Diem used a variant. The paper is not that network. |
| Who may write | Maofan Yin, Dahlia Malkhi, Michael K. Reiter, Guy Golan Gueta and Ittai Abraham |
| What is settled | Prepare, pre-commit, commit, pipelined so one phase can serve the next block. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The leader is still a choke point for censorship during their turn. |
| What this library says afterwards | A known replica set is assumed. Stake-weighted election is extra machinery. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
